That yummy stuff called food...

Owen has started to eat real food!! He started with some green veggies, squash & avocado, then applesauce, bread, and bananas.  He is such a funny boy when he eats.  He would much rather prefer picking up bites with his hands and feeding himself than being spoon fed.  He can't seem to focus when being fed with a spoon, sometimes he won't open his mouth, or just grabs the spoon with his hands and makes a mess.  I think his personality is that he wants to be independent and do it himself. He gets satisfaction when he can do it himself.  If there are bites of avocado or bananas or bread pieces on his tray, then he will stay busy and focused for a very long time.  At first he would make silly sour faces when he had a new taste.

He definitely does not prefer green veggies.  However, he loves avocado and will eat it up so fast.  Of course he loves the sweetness of bananas and loves having bread bits for a snack.  

But now, when he's sitting on the floor or the carpet, anything he sees he thinks must be a snack to pick up and eat.  So we are in that phase where he wants to pick up crumbs or pieces of anything that he can find on the floor and stick it in his mouth.  His little pincer grasp is getting very strong.  Love you little eater!!
